"PAGAN LONDON." In the current Bystander appears Archdeacon Sinclair's reply to Miss Marie Corellrs remarkable article last week in that journal on "Pagan London." He speaks of Miss Corelli as a valued friend, and his defence of the London clergy is entirely temperate and courteous. He carefully explains that he used the expression "Pagan not to indicate that London speciaHy heathen, but to distinguish that portion oi London s population which is essentially invligious. He thus delends the clergy of the diocese of London—London north of the Thames- witn whom he claims an intimate acquaintance of ne.vly thirty years v V':T" ^0,000 cli>rgj- of the Church of -■ Jul.ind there ar •, no doubt, some who are a liiinlntuce to the work of Christianity; but cer- ,H,n lfc would he diflicult to find a more earnest, devoted, sell-sacrificing, zealous, sincere, and hard- wor>;iiig s"t of men than the vast majority of t he London clergy. Take the names of I he rural deaneries and districts, Bethnal Green, Finsbury, Ihw-kney, Holhorii, Islington, Poplar, Shoreditch, Stepney, Wiufechapel, Spitallields, Hoxton, Hagger- tlJll. and the like; who would elect to live in such places, except for the love of the work itself? there are some 550 benefices in this diocese, from which we may subtract the fifty City churches, as tlsiy are quite exceptional and by themselves. Tnrse 550 benefices represent something like 1,200 clergy, and I would cite the evidence of Mr. Charles Booth, that most careful and judicious cf investigators, to know whether they are not, in d Hi rent ways, from different, standpoints, and with very different abilities, devoting themselves heart and soul to the we]fare of their people, both sphitnal and temporal, Bishop Temple could never •■■peak of the work of the London clergy, often so humble, obscure, and without hope of earthly r'u-Jiid, without tears in his eyes. I really do not think that we can find among the London clergy the terrible ecclesiastics who do not believe one word of i ho creed they profess. Broad Churchmen we have, nd men from whom I profoundly differ; but I be- iieve that they hold their interpretation of the creed to b» the true one. Canon Henson has been preaching and writing in a broad sense lately; but, then, his church is one of the full ones. Nor do I find it easy to realise among the hard-working London cleigy the men who preach to others what they do not fry to practise nor the vicious and worldly clerical hon-vivunis. No doubt they exist some- where but in London men are too busy and too poor. The stipends for the most part are very small, the meals meagre, the fasting (one might say, it is almost; proverbial that you very rarely meet a c. ergyman at a London dinner-party) necessary vand perpetual." The Archdeacon further points out that if all the churches were filled there would still be a huge surplus for whom there is no accommodation, since tin i" arc 136 parishes, with a population of from 8,C00 to 30,000.

MUSICIAN'S DIVORCE PETITION. In the Divorce Court, Sir F. Jeune has granted a decree nisi for divorce to Mr. Adam Seobold, a musician, on the ground of the miscon- duct of his wife, Helena Sophia, with Hugo Hundt, another musician. It was stated that the parties wir- married in 1892, at Marylebone, and they afterwards lived in London. The co-respondent made the acquaintance of the parties, and the petitioner had reason to speak of certain familiari- I j. In 1896 he went on a prolonged tour, leaving his wife at her parents' house. In 1898, on his ret inn, his wife refused to live with him, and it was subsequently found that in 1902 the respondent and co-respondent stayed together at Bettws-y- Coed, North Wales, as man and wife.

SEVEN "BLIND BEGGARS." The "Blind Beggar Gang," says the Tottenham police, arc notorious criminals. They were hustling old men at Tottenham on the day of the football match with Aston Villa. Six have been captured and convicted the last of seven has just been, at Kuiieh), committed for trial on a charge of attempt- ing to steal.

WORLD'S CLEVEREST THIEF. Sentence of five years' penal servitude was at Brighton passed upon James Turner, seventy-five, for stealing j ewellery valued at £1,500 from the Grand Hotel.—It was stated that accused had a very black record, dating from 1848. He was a member of a notorious gang, by whom he was known as "Coffee." They operated at the leading E'¡.Jisl1 and Continental hotels, and had succeeded in defrauding visitors of large sums. The prisoner took a leading part in the great Paris jewel robhery a few years back. On another occasion one of the gang named Vanderstein represented himself as a baronet, prisoner acting as his footman. His wife impersonated a lady of title. Turner at other times issued forged credit notes, and had been con- cerned in robbing the mail between Cannon-street and Ostend. Vanderstein had since given up his life of crime. The chief constable added that Turner was scarcely ever engaged in any other crime except stealing jewals. and in this particular line he was recognised as one of the most ingenious criminals in existence.—The Recorder regretted five years was the utmost sentence he could pass.

MR. SIEVIER'S ALLEGED PERJURY. The prosecution of Robert Standish Sievier, who has been prominent in racing circies, and was recently plaintilf in a slander action against Sir James Duke, has been opened at Bow-street Police- court, London. The charge against him is that of having committed perjury in connection with his examination in bankruptcy in 1899. Mr Bodkin represented the Treasury Mr. Arory and Mr. Elliott defended. On the last occasion evidence of arrest only was given by Chiei Inspector Arrow, of Scotland-yard, and bail was accepted in two sureties of £3,000 Mr. Bodkin said the case had been instituted by the Director of Public Prosecutions. The defendant was first made a bankrupt on May 24th, 1892, his discharge being suspended until December, 1894. In the same month a receiving order was made against him. In the second bankruptcy the state_ ment of affairs disclosed debts as- and assets nil, the petitioning creditor being a concern called the London Universal e.-ei nt being liable with his wife, Lady Ma >e > vier, on a bill of exchange for £2,300, which he was unable to meet. The order for discharge was suspended for two years, and was not to take ettec un ii October, 1899. The private examination to w nc the charge made reference had relation, amongs other tilings, to the acquisition of l'ar'c Dunstable. The defendant lived in remarkable afliuence and luxury, and no doubt this attracted the attention of Mr. Philip Samuels, a creditor who had not been scheduled in the statement of affairs. The allegation was that, prior to his discharge, lr. Sievier acquired considerable property, which he failed to disclo-e to the Official Keceiver. He acquired Park House, Dunstable, and purchased horses and carriages. He went into occupation there in 1898. lie entertained visitors, arranged cricket matches,engaged gamekeepers and gardeners, and though another person was nominally the lessee Mr. Sievier himself was rccognisect as master. it was never suggested that defendant was not. the lessee of Park House until the private examina- tion in bankruptcy, when defendant swore that he was not the actual lessee, that he occupied the mansion by arrangement with a Air. and Mrs. Masters, that he paid no rent, but paid taxes in order to get a vote, but not with his own money, and that he also paid rates with cash supplied IIY Mr. Masters. He also swore that I\J 1'. end Mrs. Masters ordered the bungalow and paid for it, that there were shootings at Tftddin"- ) on belonging to Mr. Masters which he was invited to shoot over, and that a banking account at Barclay's was his mother's, on which he had authority to draw a cheque. If the account at Barclay's Luton branch was really his mother's account, she shewed for an old lady a remarkable interest in betting and horseracing. There was at Barclay's an account of £34.929, a considerable portion of which was paid in from very well-known men connected with betting and racing. In many instances sums were paid in by means of cheques drawn not to the defendants' mother, but to the d., fPIHlallt himself. The allegation of the prosecu- tion was that defendant's sworn statements were lalse, having regard to the facts which had since come to light. ) Mr. G. Snell. official shorthand writer to the Bnnkrupety Court, was examined as to questions ( answered by defendant in the proceedings before the Official Receiver. The defendant was remanded till July 8th on the same bail as before.

An ancient frigate, with a skeleton crew on board. has been discovered at Havre, during dredging operations for a new channel. Mr. Frederick Sandys, the well-known painter, has died from heart failure, at the age of seventy- I two. Among his principal works were "Morgan Ie Fay" "Cassandra," and "Gentle Spring." For having his lamp within two feet of the swing of his pick, a Chapeltown miner has been fined. The pit being of a fiery nature, he might have broken the lamp and endangered the lives of 200 miners.

TEA TAXATION AND FISCAL I REFORM. J THE fact that the Government has only succeeded in carrying the increased tea duty by the slender majority of thirty-three shews clearly that the measure is received by a large number of Ministerialists with dislike and repugnance. On many grounds the tax is open to serious criticism, and it is not surpris- ing that during the proceedings in the Com- mittee stage the effects of the impost have been vigorously exposed. To restate some of the many objections to the tax can only be advantageous. One of the most serious is that it violates the sound rule of taxation that the burden of the cost of national administration shall be so distributed as to fall upon the shoulders of all classes of taxpayers in equal shares. Now, the most vicious defect of the increased tea duty is that it largely augments the contribution to the national revenue of the indirect taxpayer, and indirect taxation, as everyone is aware, is paid in a largely preponderating proportion by people with limited means. The effect of the tax is therefore to violate the understanding that in the revision of taxation the interests of all classes of taxpayers shall be fairly considered. ] t was stated by Mr. Herbert Samuel in the debate that, as compared with five years ago, the working class is now taxed to the extent of one week's wages annually more than it was live years ago. Theue can he no question that the heavy duty of Sd. per 11. will have the effect of reducing the national consumption of tea. When the tax was increased from 4(1. to (id. for the purposes of the war the consequence was a falling off in demand. In] HOO, the year in which the extra was imposed, the buoyant state of trade prevented the effects from being immediately felt; but in the following year and ever since the diminution in the imports of tea have been most marked. Sup- porters of the tax cannot argue that the reduced consumption has been due to the slackening of prosperity. In view of the circumstance that, entirely irrespective of the currents of national commerce, the consump- tion of tea. increased year by year under the nominal duty of 4d., and only commenced to decline when the impost had been doubled, it is pretty clear that the check is traceable to the special cause under consideration. That the further increase of the tea duty to a level representing over 100 per cent. of its cost price must entail as a result a still greater reduction in the consumption may be looked upon as a certainty. Hence to the GO. GOO retail tea-dealers of the country the tax has come as a real blow. One of the most astonishing features of the tax is that, while its authors profess to have a monopoly of regard for the interests of Colonial traders, they have made themselves responsible for a measure which will undeni- ably inflict grave injury on the tea industry of India and Ceylon. The story of how after the irreparable destruction of the Cingalese coffee- planting industry in the late sixties the planters betook themselves to the development of tea-planting, and after many years of struggle built up a prosperous industry, is a striking tribute to British energy and enter- prise. Of late years, however, the trade has been carried on with a diminished margin of prolit; and a reduction of demand in England, which is practically the only great market for Indian and Cevion teas. will be nothimr less cnan disastrous. But that this is not a chimerical danger is made evident by recent experience. Since the operation of the war tax on tea the quantity of Chinese tea has largely increased, while the imports of Indian and Ceylon tea have actually fallen off. This is entirely due to the increased taxation. The Chinese tea is mostly of a cheap and inferior variety, and its enhanced consumption during recent years is solely due to the demand by the wholesale dealers for low-priced teas with which to blend the Indian tea, and by this means to keep the price within the means of the working class. It was with the object of directing attention to this aspect of the new duties that Mr. Winston Churchill conceived the happy idea of moving an amendment in favour of subject- ing Chinese teas to a higher scale of taxation than is borne by the tea grown in British possessions. Mr. Balfour chose to treat the proposal as a mere jest, but Mr. Churchill's end was attained when he shewed that, however much Protectionists may prate about the advisability of giving preferences on foodstuffs grown within the Empire, none of them ventures to argue in its favour when a direct motion for the adoption of the system is put before them. It appears that of our total con- sumption of tea nine-tenths is grown in India. and Ceylon, so that, as Mr. Chamberlain pointed out, if Protectionists believe in the principle of preferential tariffs they must concede that tea is a much more suitable article on which to apply the principle than our corn supplies, of which only one-third is produced within the Empire. Although Mr. Chamber- lain had taken the Chancellor of the Exchequer to task on the introduction of the Budget for not introducing the principle of preferential taxation, not a single Protectionist supported Mr. Churchill's motion. Thus, as Mr. Asquith pointed out, the incredible fact came out that when the Tariff Reform party were challenged upon the floor of the House they were not able to produce a single champion of their ideas. It was not lost sight of in the debate that *elan«l will be a heavy sufferer from the increased cost of tea. In the West of Ireland, w eie tlie population exists in a chronic con- 1 U'n 7°^ Poverty, the staple food consists of ea and bread. According to Mr. Hugh Law, tlie total wages of many of these peasant families amount to only 9s. a week, and the additional tax will impose a burden equal to one ^eeks wages throughout the year. Altogether, the new tax represents a contribn- tio» J'/™ the Irish people of £ 300,000 to £ 400,000 a-year, and this on top of the fact that the taxes paia by ireland are, as the Royal Commission on Irish Taxa- tion has shewn, already far in excess of those contributed by Great Britain. When Mr. 1. W. Russell pertinently asked why those who wax enthusiastic over the idea of preferential duties in the interests of the prosperous grain-growers of the Colonies cannot extend hospitality to the suggestion of the differential taxation of tea consumed in Ireland, he delivered a shrewd thrust at the Protectionists. Not that the principle is necessarily a sound one; but if an industry is to be encouraged by means of doles and subventions, surely regard should be had, 'n ^ie first instance, to our own people. So far as Ireland is concerned, the tax is not merely unjust, it is calculated to accentuate the bitter feeling of our fellow- subjects that their interests are always ignored when questions of taxation are at staka -101- AOOut seventy men were cleaning tne inside of a huge water-pipe at an electric power station at 110awalk Jamaica, when the water was accident- ally turned on. The men were swept into a river and thirty-four of them drowned. In the last letter written to his wife by a master mariner, who was "presumed to be dead" in the Probate Court, he said» 'If we recognise one another in the next world, the next fellow you marry will have a tussle there with me." In the will of Robert Hall, of New York, who died on June 7th, it is stipulated that his estate of £10,000 shall go to his widow and children provided that none of them shall become addicted to intoxicating liquor during the next five years. A rival to Dowie has appeared in New York in the person of a man calling himself "John the Baptist the Second." The latter denounces Elijah the Third as a fraud. Dowie describes his com- petitor as a "rum-distilled rascal, with hell for his destiny." Mr. George Wyndham, M.P., Chief Secretary for Ireland, and the Right Hon. R. B. Haldane, K.C., M.P., have been admitted as citizens of London at the Guildhall, the former as a member of tho Musicians' Company and the latter of the Cloth- workers' Company. The funeral took place on Tuesday at Man- chester of the Rev. Dr. Mackenzie, ex-chairman of the Congregational Union, and president of the National Free Church Council. Fifteen men have been killed by a boiler explo- sion on the French cruiser Durance while on a journey from Papeete, Tahiti, to Noumea, New Caledonia. Somerset County Council has decided to represent to the Board of Trade the urgent necessity for pro- viding a ha bour of refuge in the Bristol Channel. Many burglaries have been committed in Chelsea, S mth Kensington, and Belgravia during the past month. The police believe that they are all the work of one man. Mr. Cathcart Wason, M.P., intends to ask the Government to appoint a Committee or Commission to investigate the causes of Sir Charles Eliot's resignation in Eist Africa. At Messrs. Puttick and Simpson's auction-rooms a "Strad" violin, winch for many years had been played iu the West-End streets, has been sold for £ 700. There were 2,465 births and 1,143 deaths regi- stered in London last week, being eighty-nine bi rths and 172 deaths helow the average numbers in the co responding weeks of the previous ten years. At the inquest on the body of a seven-year-old l,ov named Etteride, who was drowned in a well at Newport, Isle of Wight, it was stated that his com- panions ran away and agreed to say nothing about the matter. At the annual meeting of Messrs. John Brown and Company the chairman stated that they had in hand for the Cunard Company two of the largest vessels ever launched in Great Britain, and were now laying down a third Cunarder, the largest vessel in the world. Among the latest "mysterious disappearances" are reported a Bridgend newsagent and a Neath clerk. It is thought that both have suffered from a sudden lapse of memory. James Leonard, vice-chairman of the South Wales Anthracite Miners' Federation, was instan- taneously killed by the fall of a stone at Cawdor Quarry, near Llanelly. Damage to the extent of about C15,000 has been done by fire at some Glasgow gutta-percha works. Several workmen had narrow escapes, bricks from the falling wall flying into their midst. There seems to be a curious cosmopolitan element about horse-racing in Germany. The German Derby was won at Hamburg by Con Amore, with Bon Marche second and Real Scotch third. At Spelthome a girl of fifteen has been remanded on a charge of fraud. She had made impudent representations to prominent local people that various relatives of hers were lying dead and their survivors destitute. London's consumption of coal amounts to about 14,000,000 tons every year. The goat given to the Royal Welsh Fusiliers by the late Queen has died suddenly. The London division of the Corps of Commis- sionaires increased its membership last year from 1,818 to 1,876. The bones of nine persons have been unearthed at Greenwich on some ground which was filled in about the year 1854. While hurrying to catch a steamer to bring him away irom Ramsgate after his holiday, a Waltham- stow electrician tell dead in the pier yard. Barcelona at the present time is infested with Anarchists. The police have arrested a number of foreigners of no known occupation. A telegram from Rio de Janeiro says Indians have raided two villages in the Acre territory, killing fifty of the inhabitants. At Wellington, Salop, Thomas Charles Ellis, a licensed victualler, was fined LBO and £20 costs for using his premises for betting purposes. The University of Aberdeen is seeking power to confer the degree of Doctor of Science in Agricul- ture. Dr. Robert Koch has been elected a member of the Berlin Academy of Scienee, in succession to the late Professor Rudolf Virchow. A coloured woman who killed a white man at Lebanon Junction, Kentucky, was taken from gaol the following day and lynched. Probate has been granted of the will of the late Sir H. M- Stanley, G.C.B., the famous explorer, the estate being valued at the gross amcunt of I £ 145,451. 6 Notwithstanding the wa.r, Japan's commerce with the United States for the present fiscal year shews a marked advance over any preceding year. The new musical prodigy, Florizel von Reuter, was summoned from an orchestral rehearsal of his first Symphony on Monday to play to the Queen at Buckingham Palace.

Little Ethel, aged five, accompanied her grand- mother to church one Sabbath morning, and, when the contribution-plate came round, she dropped in the penny that her father had given her.

Many stories are told of a former Canadian Bishop who had passed his youth in Scotland, but flattered himself that not a hint of his origin could be gained from his speech or manner.

STRANGLED HER INFANT. Mary Ann Brookes, twenty-three, a Teignmouth lodging-house keeper, was tried at the Devon Assi/«s for the murder of her child at Paignton. The body was found in the prisoner's box after arrival at Teignmouth, death being due to strangulation. Prisoner was ordered to be detained during the King's pleasure, on the ground that she was insane at the time.
